The “dog days of summer” are quickly approaching. Our Nazareth Day Car Show is in the history book already. It was a GREAT show! As usual, you, my fellow club members, did a great job supporting the show! While the “official” figures are still being tabulated, we had over 200 vehicles at the show, 47 of which where Thunderbirds! We might have to think about doing an all Thunderbird show next year too! The NJTA made a strong showing to support our show, so next year we owe them the same! For those not able to attend the convention, the Wheels of Faith Car Show is on Saturday, August 16th in Whitehall. The month wraps up with the Slatington Annual Car Show on Sunday, August 31st. There are several more shows and cruises in the area, They are listed under the Local Shows and Events section on our newsletter. We received 38 Gift Baskets donations from club members, some local vendors, Haldeman Ford, Nazareth Ford and Brown Daub Chevrolet. Thanks You all for your support! More on the show starting on page 4. Okay, so what’s up for August….A L O T !!!!!!!!!!!!! We start off with Das Awkscht Fescht on August 1st thru 3rd. Our General Meeting follows on Tuesday, August 5th with our Annual Mini Golf Outing at Lucky Strokes. We will be meeting there at 6:00 pm. They have a good grille too, so we typically eat there. Bring your T-Bird as we normally display them while we play. The 21st Annual ITC Convention is August 12th thru 17th in Charlotte, NC.

What a spectacular show, with record attendance of over two hundred vehicles. The weather was also picture perfect. While I was walking around the show field, attendees made it known that they were having a good time. I am pleased to say that North Jersey Thunderbird Club came out, as well as members from the New York area Thunderbird Club also. Thank You for all of you, that came out and showed your cars, you made the show a success. I would also like to personally thank the car show committee members that worked so hard to put this show on. Without all of you, this show would not be possible. This is the second year for the Basket raffle at the show, another welcomed addition. Thank s to all who contributed to this. I hope to see more of you at next years Nazareth Car Show. We are less than three weeks away from the ITC Convention in Charlotte, August 12th-17th. I hope that everyone that is going made their reservations. Here’s wishing each of you a safe trip and a great time! See you at our next general meeting and mini-golf outing at Lucky Strokes in Bath, PA on August 5th. Let’s see a big turnout! This is your club, let’s have some fun!

Page 4 Lehigh Valley Thunderbird Club 2014 Nazareth Day Car Show The day was picture perfect weather wise. The grass was relatively dry. The team worked like a well oiled machine preparing the show field for the event. Participants started showing up at 7:15 am for the 8:00 am registration and by 8:00 am, the line was almost back to the park entrance! Each vehicle was greeted as they entered the show area and directed to the proper registration area. Registration processed each vehicle quickly and directed them to the photo area. The photography team identified each vehicle and stickered them with an ID number to reference their plaque. The photo was then taken and the participant was directed to parking. Our parking team moved them quickly into a well planned space, with plenty of room to open doors without hitting the vehicle next door. As many of us experienced, we were told how enjoyable our show is and combined with the Nazareth Community Day, provides a fun atmosphere for the Car Show! Sun and mild weather, good music, smiles, laughter and beautiful vehicles filled the event, making this one of the best shows in recent years ! Thank You to each and every club member as you made this all happen! And for a “Cheap Plug” don’t forget to sign up for the show we sponsor in October in Bath, Pa. See page 13 for the form! Thanks Frank for the photos !
